2 killed in crash at intersection with obscured stop sign, officials say

Two people were killed and three were injured, including a 4-year-old, in a crash where deputies said a stop sign was obscured at Rock County intersection. A 53-year-old Madison woman was driving a 2011 Dodge Charger north on North Pleasant Prairie when she did not stop at a stop sign, officials said. The 53-year-old Madison woman and a passenger, a 46-year-old Evansville man, were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. Speed and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the crash, but investigators said the stop sign at the intersection was obscured by foliage in a wooded tree line. The Charger was T-boned by a 2013 Dodge Avenger, being driven by a 24-year-old Brooklyn woman, at the intersection.
